Traffecta

Music 1 always has had the ability to import an advertising schedule from commercial traffic & billing software, then deliver a fully merged log file (all music and commercials) to the automation/playout system.

Version 7 now has its own optional, built-in Traffic/Billing module. This is a first in the field, a fully integrated, stand-alone application that does it all. In addition to scheduling the music, liners, voice tracks, jingles and long-form programs, with the Traffic module enabled, Version 7 also schedules all the advertising, does the billing and invoicing and prints affidavits.

We are offering exceptionally low introductory rates for this new does-it-all package. Contact Steve Warren at the M1 office to discuss options and pricing.
